What a disaster this class is turning into smh

*checks notes* - currently rated #6 class in America and top 10 in avg star rating.

Frank 1886 - 'this class is turning into a disaster!!!'

Never change CIS.

Here is a comp for Cooper- Travis Etienne. He’s a couple inches taller, but similar running style and speed.

On top of it almost all the remaining uncommitted kids in the top 200 are all crystallballed to the teams in the top 10 right now. So there likely won’t be a ton of surprises in team ranking. Uga and Texas look like they will be 1/2 in the end. Then there are about 5-6 teams including us that could be anywhere from 3-9. The difference in classes/avg ranking look like they will be minimal. There are 2-3 teams in the top 12 that have classes that don’t look as good as others though. Just one persons opinion but they look a lot like our classes that we tried to get excited about and they were just “ok”

Hard pass

 

[Kansas Cane]

Travis Etienne had nearly 5K rushing and 70 rushing TD’s.

I’ll gladly accept that comp.

What I don't get is so-called Canes fans upset about the Willis McGahee comparisons after all he's done for this program? True clowns.

McGahee would go ham in this offense.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

McGahee would go ham in this offense.

McGahee would go ham in Patrick Nix’s offense. Are yall high? Dude was 6’1 and 210 and ran 4.3. He went round 1 after exploding his knee when knee injuries were really devastating.

Dude had 8500 yards and 65 TDs in the NFL on one leg. He was a ******* freak. I have no idea what people have said about him in this thread, but people better put some speck on his name. He was absurdly good.

He’s in the top 45 ALL-TIME IN THE NFL in rushing yards and rushing TDs. With half a leg.

The recovery after that knee might have been the most impressive part.

That’s cap
